For those of you who haven't had the chance to check out Bullroarer for Update 11, I've compiled a cosmetic preview of the goodies that will be available. Please check out Material Middle-Earth for some wonderful screenies! Here are a couple of samples for you

Very nice, thank you!

Just one thing though, under your 'Bonus Pieces' section the heavy armour looks like it's a lesser-Moria re-dyed set (A purple set of armour you got from moria; Shield Bearer's Armour) as opposed to the teal set(Durin's Guard, for example). The latter is identical to the old Ettenmoors armour (Armour of the Last stand) just dyed differently. Below are pictures of both the Shield Bearer's Armour set and Armour of the Last Stand heavy sets I'm speaking about, which will hopeful make the above clearer.

'Shield Bearers Armour' & 'Armour of the Last Stand'

Do you know if they'll be putting the other armours back in as well? You yourself said it was only early days yet regarding the update.

I actually saw the chest piece on Cosmetic Lotro, used brilliantly for a Swan Lake inspired outfit for a female elf (which my lore-master is currently wearing incidentally), and loved the look of the piece so much that I decided to make an outfit for my RK and was very happy how it turned out - I like that it looks sort of like a scale mail robe.

The thing is, the lesser Moria armor only uses one appearance for each weight - the Captain, Champion, and Guardian sets all use the same appearance, while the teal Vile Maw sets diverge. The base appearance used for the shared set is actually a less embellished version of the Champion's set. And the armor cosmetic used in the heavy Mathom set there is likewise from the Champion's Ettenmoors set, "Armour of the Swift-slayer".

I should further note that while the new Mathom sets come dyed white, using wash on them turns them back to the Moors purple.

Anyway, here are the Champion's sets lined up: Armour of the Axe-handler, Blademaster's Armour, Armour of the Swift-slayer, and the new Mathom-hunter's pieces (at least as they are in beta at the moment).

You're probably correct about the heavy armor, as I've never been VIP or spent time in the moors. I recognized them cosmetically as the old Ettenmoors skins because of the signature grayish-teal that is present in the pieces. Thanks for helping me know the difference!

And as for the other armor sets, I don't know if they've been coded in. I only have 4 characters copied on Bullroarer, two of which are the light classes. Both of those have gotten the same sets from the upcoming Hobbit Presents. It is too early to tell, but I have a feeling there's only one heavy, medium, and light set in terms of cosmetic appearance--much like the 85 BG armor, where the 3 light armor sets share the same cosmetic skin. I hope that answers your question

That's exactly how it appears to coded for the moment. But it also scales based on level, so a level 20 gets a level 20 piece, a level 76 gets a level 70, and a level 85 gets a level 80. Thus even low-level players should be able to get and use these pieces.

And you were right about the origin of the cosmetic! As explained in my last post, they just follow the Champion's aesthetic.

Thank you.

Of course, happy to help .
I felt your blog-post was just a little confusing in that regard. Glad I could help add to the clarity for you, and hopefully others reading too! And thank you for confirming that, so far at least, there's only the one type available for each armour category. Odd, but there is a precedent in-game like you stated, so it makes sense in that regards. Thanks again! [/thread-derail]

Here's another outfit, that my elf usually wears when she's in places (usually bree-town) and doesn't want to be recognized.

Hi there! Sorry for the long time to respond, haven't been really active in the past month. Strangely, the screenshots disappeared, i might have deleted them accidentally so here's one again.

Chest and gauntlets are from the Draigoch raid (Guardian set)
Head and legs are Hunter gear from the OD raid, same as the boots and shoulders (Warden boots, Guardian shoulders)
The cloak is from the store, although no longer available.

In addition to the new armor Nathrien showed above, there's a few cosmetics from the latest installment of the Epic. Certainly not going to spoil what happens, but I'll note that the end of the epic rewards you with three hand-carried flowers - Foxglove, Lily, and Wood Lily.

As you complete quests in Vol. 3, Book 10, you'll also unlock a series of optional session plays called Interludes. These interludes detail what certain other characters in this Epic are up to elsewhere. There's two deeds for completing them - one for the first three, and one for the other four.

Both deeds award a cosmetic outfit set. The first deed awards the Dunadan Workman's set, made up of a shirt, pants, wrist wraps, and shoes. Below is the current beta appearance.

The second deed awards the Woodland Ranger's set, which is a hood, tunic, shoulderwrap, gloves, boots, and cloak.

I love the smell of orc-fires in the morning. It smells like... victory.

Oraekja Snorrason, Captain of Rohan

Helm of the Eastemnet
Padded Mantle of the Dunland Soothsayer
Cloak of the Grey Company
Oldheart's Ancient Robe
Gloves of the Helmingas
Spearman's Singed Leather Leggings (unless they're lost again)
Fine Grey Company Boots

Let us make haste, riders of the Éo-marc. The horn is blowing and there is grim work in the Deep....

My little RK Fimlas finally started on his great Moria RP adventure - and I'm quite happy with the outfit I've come up with for him for this trip.

It's a nice armor look that seems suited for Moria - and still looks cute enough for a youthful elf. I find myself really in love with this shoulder piece too that was on last month's mannequins, I foresee this getting a lot of use in future outfits for him!

The only thing I'm not happy with are the boots. None of the boots in my wardrobe are without issues when it comes to clipping with his armor. So far, these dyed white seem the best option... Maybe I'll have to go with ordinary shoes after all, but boots seem like a better idea for Moria.

And since his adventure is not only about entering Moria, but mostly about being on the run from someone who is after the kinslayer Fimlas married, there was a need for disguise. This mask looked like it might do the trick...

The second deed awards the Woodland Ranger's set, which is a hood, tunic, shoulderwrap, gloves, boots, and cloak.

In case this happens to look familiar... I just admired this get-up as worn by Banfuir in Gabilshathûr, in Angmar, save that he has a mask covering his nose and mouth. But it's good to hear that if I'll so choose, I can gain it in-game. Especially that tunic. And shoulderwrap. Gotta love the Rangers' shoulderwraps...
Now, if only we'd be able to get that lovely star-spangled cloak some members of the Grey Company sport...

Well, my dwarf isn't really in drag, as I play as a female dwarf. So, Rois here spent last weekend in Lothlorien.

First, it was relaxing, just sitting, looking, sighing, more sitting.

But like most dwarves, Rois started to get a bit bored with all the quiet contemplation and sitting, and wanted some action! So she came up with a cunning plan... perhaps the Vineyards would be worth a look...

The rest of the evening is a blur. The next morning, however...

Elves are so hard to let down gently. Oh, and if anyone happens to find a purple rune-satchel with a large red wine stain on it, please be sure to let Rois know. Last seen somewhere around the Banquet Lawn + Hythe....
